I think it would be helpful if your Secretary of State could let the Prime Minister have advice, in the light of the conversations which took place during her visit to China, as to our aims and tactics with regard to this Project in future.
In general, nothing was said by the Chinese to suggest that the American option was still realistic. Such comments as they made seemed to imply that only the French option was active. But it may be that the Department of Industry, or other Whitehall Departments, have fresh information from other sources.
I am copying this letter to John Holmes (FCO), John Kerr (HM Treasury), John Rhodes (Department of Trade), Julian West (Department of Energy) and Richard Hatfield (Cabinet Office).
